Delightful cottage in Southwold with garden and garage.
Description
Centenary Cottage is a delightful property located in the heart of Southwold and benefits from a private garden and garage.The accommodation is elegantly proportioned, with good ceiling height throughout and has been re-modelled and renovated with great flair. The front door opens into the porch where beyond is a central hallway. From here, there is access to a cloakroom, a beautifully presented sitting room, and the kitchen/dining room. The light-filled Aga kitchen has been designed in a practical, contemporary style, with plenty of cupboards and shelving, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher and wine cooler. A door from the kitchen proves access to the garden. Stairs from the central hallway lead up to the first floor, where there are two good sized bedrooms, each benefitting from built in wardrobes and stylish en suite shower rooms.
Centenary Cottage has a private garden with a paved terrace. From here there is also direct access out to the town, as well as to the superb garage with a room above. This could also be used as a third bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.
Location
Southwold is a pretty seaside town famed for its painted beach huts, long sandy beaches, iconic 19th century lighthouse and its picturesque pier. There is a wonderful selection of boutique stores, cafés, restaurants and public houses, and a twice weekly market in the market square. The town also hosts the Southwold Arts Festival's annual celebration of arts and literature. One of Southwold's notable former residents was the novelist George Orwell.
Neighbouring Walberswick is an idyllic coastal village, associated with artists including Philip Wilson Steer and Charles Rennie Macintosh who famously depicted its beautiful beach and dunes. There are two public houses including Good Food Guide recommended restaurant, The Anchor, and a highly regarded delicatessen, The Black Dog. Rspb Minsmere (11.5 miles) is a world-class nature reserve. Classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, its 2,500 acres are habitat to exceptional wildlife. Historic market towns, including Saxmundham (15 miles), Framlingham (20 miles) and Woodbridge (27 miles) offer a wide range of independent shops, delicatessens, cafés, restaurants and public houses. Framlingham Castle is an especially iconic local landmark.
Centenary Cottage is well placed for the commuter: The A12 is 4 miles away, and stations at Halesworth (9 miles), Darsham (10 miles) and Saxmundham offer trains to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich from just under two hours.
Schools in the area are well thought of, including St. Felix School, The Old School Henstead, Framlingham College, Woodbridge School and Norwich School. There are fantastic local sporting facilities, including golf clubs at Southwold, Halesworth and Aldeburgh; rugby clubs at Southwold and Woodbridge; numerous tennis courts and clubs in the area; and superb sailing along the east coast. Clay pigeon shooting is also available at High Lodge in Darsham.
